For the eighth time this season Tim Thomas gets the start for the Bruins between the pipes. Thomas is 3-4 on the year with a 2.14 goals against average. Thomas’ lifetime numbers against the Bruins Northeast Division rivals are very good. In 29 games played against the Senators, Thomas is 19-8-2 and carries a 1.91 goals against average against the Sens.
